About Us

Mission statement: “To preserve Union Station’s history and new vitality as an inter-modal transportation center that supports commerce and social interaction”
Initially created in 1982, the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation is a privately-owned nonprofit organization created to oversee restoration of Union Station, ensure its return to a functioning rail station and create a retail/entertainment destination. Funding for the initial renovation came from the following sources:

• Amtrak, $70 million
• The District of Columbia, $40 million
• The private developer, $40 million

Today, the USRC protects the federal government’s interests and preserves the history enshrined within Union Station. Specific examples include the following:

• Managing the station development lease
• Managing the parking garage operator’s contract
• Insuring proper maintenance of the unique historical features of Union Station
• Overseeing and managing all capital improvements for the garage
• Overseeing the Capital Maintenance Reserve Fund for major station improvements
